Brendan was released on Saturday morning, much earlier than anticipated. We're all so grateful for that, and to be home, settling in to our new Normal.

It's a little tricky, figuring this out -- how this situation fits into the family rhythm, as Brendan can't transition or move to any spot in the house without assistance. He can't prepare his snacks, go watch tv, join us outside, or do anything that requires walking to that activity without help. And I am now realizing just how much I depended on his help around the house every day!

My son came through surgery safely, and the surgeons are cautiously pleased with the results. They found more damage and complications than they had anticipated, but they were able to adapt and accomplish their main goals of lengthening the quadriceps and centering his kneecap on the right leg. None of the anticipated bone procedures were done; the surgeons said they wouldn't have been helpful. Now Brendan's very painful, very slow process of healing and rehab begins.
